Malaysia rises two spots in good governance ranking, Anwar warns against complacency

Malaysia has risen two positions to 40th place in the 2026 Chandler Good Governance Index (CGGI), reflecting the government's ongoing efforts to enhance national administrative capacity, integrity, and effectiveness. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim emphasized that while this achievement is noteworthy, complacency should be avoided, particularly in strengthening inter-agency coordination and ensuring efficient policy and plan execution.

The Madani government remains committed to building robust institutions, improving public service delivery, and delivering tangible benefits to the people. Malaysia's ranking climbed from 42nd place in 2025, positioning it behind China (39th), Slovakia (38th), and Saudi Arabia (37th).
